One evening at an ultimate frisbee game, I found myself diving deep into the wonders of generative AI during a break in the action. For those unfamiliar with this hippie sport, when a foul occurs, play halts, and the players involved engage in a dramatic debate that would make courtroom dramas look dull. They argue, negotiate, and finally agree on whether the foul happened and what to do next. While this thrilling soap opera unfolded, my mind wandered off to my trusty digital sidekick, AI.
My first mission was to create a song that embodied the essence of the St. Thomas Academy ultimate frisbee team and its rich history. I asked ChatGPT to write a song that was as strong and compelling as our team’s determination. And voila! The AI delivered “Legends Rise,” complete with verses and a chorus that made me want to stand up and belt it out (though I spared everyone the horror of my singing voice). I then fed the lyrics into a music generation site and requested a rock ballad. What came out was an anthem so epic it could make a statue weep.

Riding high on this success, I decided the team also needed a logo that screamed “champions.” Back to ChatGPT I went, and in no time, it whipped up a design that was bold and inspirational. This new emblem perfectly captured the energy of our teenage frisbee warriors and the proud legacy of St. Thomas Academy. It was like seeing a nerdy dream come to life on a T-shirt.
I proudly showed my creations to my family, who kindly pointed out that my obsession with my new digital buddy might need an intervention. But hey, who can blame me for geeking out when AI helps me turn boring game breaks into creative gold? This little adventure with “Legends Rise” showed me that generative AI isn’t just for solving serious problems—it’s also a fantastic tool for injecting some fun and creativity into our lives, making even the dullest of pauses an opportunity for nerdy brilliance.
Lyrics
[Verse] On the field where legends rise St. Thomas Cadets Fire in their eyes Every throw and every leap Honor our school Traditions we keep
[Verse 2] Through blood Sweat And tears we fight Pushing towards victory with all our might With hearts united We face the storm For the Cadet spirit Our fire is warm
[Chorus] Legends rise Breaking through the sky In every moment We’ll never say goodbye With pride we’ll stand Side by side St. Thomas Cadets Our spirit won’t ever die.
